Please everyone note that there is a long-standing and somewhat pointless argument over whether or not DCA means “regular monthly contributions” versus “taking a lump sum contribution and dividing it up into contributions over time”.

Strictly speaking time in the market beats timing in the market. If you have a lump sum, the theoretically best option is to put it into an index fund today.

Most people in most situations don’t have one lump sum to invest, so recurrent monthly contributions to retirement accounts is the way to go (and what OP here is advocating).

> Having to schedule fewer things is a definite benefit of 32 lanes over a smaller lane count.

From a hardware design perspective, it saves you some die size in the scheduler.

From a performance perspective, as long as the hardware designer kept 32 in mind, it can schedule 32 lanes and duplicate the signals to the 16 or 8 wide lanes with no loss of performance.

> That documentation talks about writing to a temporary location and reading form a temporary location in order to do cross lane operations.

> If games’ shaders are written with an assumption that SIMD32 is used, then native SIMD32 is going to be more performant than native SIMD16 because of faster cross lane operations.

So this is a situation where wider lanes actually need more hardware to run at full speed and not having it causes a penalty. I see your point here, but I will note that you can add that criss-cross hardware for 32-wide operations while still having 16-wide be your default.
> try to get people fired for things they said 10 years ago

I assume the implication here is that the thing they said 10 years ago was less inappropriate back then. So how do you predict sensitivity changes 10 years in the future to limit your speech today? Even if you delete posts after, say 1 year, archives exist. Shouldn’t you just not say anything if you’re afraid of this? Maybe discussion of self-censorship like this will be taboo in 10 years and the ship has already sailed.
In New Zealand we encourage immigration: 30% of the population was born overseas (very few refugees).

Personally it feels like we are just delaying demographic problems because those immigrants also become elderly and costly in time.

The main problem is that we have a serious outflow of 20-30 year olds leaving for other countries, so just encouraging more kids is not the answer here. I suspect the outflow is caused because 20-30 year olds can't get ahead financially or buy a house. They often move to Australia to earn more in a warmer clime where housing is more accessible.
Ah, so you're who GGP's talking about.
I think they were saying "fast and native" because web things usually aren't fast. In this case it is though, so I don't see why it would be a problem for it to be web based.
I don’t disagree, but it’s unlikely we go back to a time where kids became self sufficient and useful rapidly instead of the high resource utilization luxury good they are today.

All TV series have bibles. For the sake of continuity, writers follow it.

It makes sense to consider a set of interlocking bibles a canon.

I assumed the lavatory alarm sent the Egyptian commission irretrievably down the wrong investigatory path, and couldn't be pulled back.

That said, answering your question, an alternative interpretation would read quite a lot of missing context from the pilot's final words on the CVR:

> For several seconds, the weak sound of breathing continued, followed by the thud of an object falling to the floor. And then, uttering the last words of flight 804, words heard by no one save for that lonely sentinel, the CVR, he said, “[I] ask forgiveness from God.”
Some exhanges like coinbase are basically banks at this point.

You open an acccount, you do a kyc, you declare it to the state, and they are submitted to regulations in your country.

Coinbase is an expensive one, but way cheaper than micro strategy, and is from y combinator s12 so you know what to expect.

Deal with an exhange directly, it's cheaper, and more flexible. No wallet to manage, and you can handle a few millions before even having to talk to a human.

Of course you lose a lot of advantages of crypto, but you were going to with micro strategy anyway.

Or buy an etf if you really like your bank.

Although I would argue now is the worse time to buy. You had to buy last year, or wait until 2 years, assuming the halving cycle is still relevant, which I believe it is.

It is expected from most crypto holders that we are not that far from the top and the usual crash back is near.

Some my friends are still in, but have placed their exit orders already. I'm already out with a 500% profit and play it safe.

You may be able to get some more, but it's getting riskier by the day.

It's a tired trope, but time is money. Fiat currency works because of this idea.

Fiat currency fails when a nation defaults on its loans because people lose faith in the currency.

The money printing scares everyone because of the US's rising debt. If it cannot be balanced at some point, people will think inflation is permanent.

It's difficult to cut costs because the US economy must pay to maintain its status. The only way to reduce our debt is to increase our GDP: aka, sell more shit and do more with less.

>> Even if zero is the bottom, an asset can have unlimited downside. It can go from $0.1 per share to $0.0001 per share and so on without end. Or, with the rational perspective, after 0 the downside does not matter anymore. An asset cannot go below zero, at least the assets I know of. An investment can go below zero and beyond, when you use leverage. But that's a derivative and not an asset, as you've pointed out.

This is drivel. Being able to tag on infinite 0s after the decimal doesn’t make an asset have unlimited downside, the limit is $0 as you yourself apparently know.

I use the tools when they’re available (and performant and stable), but they aren’t always.

Pretty much anywhere you’ve got grep, and if you’ve got grep you can find anything in a reasonable amount of time.

The tools are great when they work well, but if you become too dependent on them you wind up at the mercy of other people in certain situations: notably when the tools are broken and need fixing.

The holographic doctor really fascinated me and I thought maybe if I learned programming, I could one day (in the far future) be part of developing one. I owe my career to it.

It's the opposite of zenith, another word ultimately derived from Arabic.

The difference between an apex and a zenith is that an apex exists as a point in space, while a zenith is a direction, with no fixed point which may be said to be "the" zenith. There are other differences given that apex has a few related meanings, but this is the main one.

Ask HN: How to Monetize a Trading Strategy?
Hello HN

While studying price charts, I stumbled upon a high-probability trading strategy. My back testing has shown very good results. I haven't found anything like it online. While I'm not ready to share this strategy here yet, I have a few questions.

How would you go about sharing this strategy but at the same time monetizing it? Besides a book and maybe an online course, is there anything I can do to make a passive income out of this?

Thank you
Cognitive load is precisely why I love feature rich languages. Once you have internalized a language the features it has fall away in terms of cognitive load for me. In the same way I don't think about how to ride a bike while I'm riding a bike.

In most cases having a simpler language forces additional complexity into a program which does noticable add to cognitive load.

This is great and could provide additional guardrails on top of large language models. I imagine we could provide a more rigorous approach to prove that a LLM can behave in certain ways within a workflow.
I haven't read this thread in that way: if you want to improve your skills that is great, it is your choice but you should know, realistically speaking, that at certain level you cannot improve anymore in your lifetime, except if you are part of the elite.
honeycomb "bubble up"
I dropped it about half-way through season 2. Even if you pretend it's not Star Trek and treat it as a stand-alone show, it's terrible. The characters are not likeable and there is no depth to the story. It seems like they just stuck together some bells and whistles to impress the modern crowd and called it a day.
As a close follower of Casey, I have become disillusioned with the lack of progress in this space. Certainly solar is cheaper but his own company is very slow to scale up and ignores the logistical challenges of these huge endeavors. The salton sea lithium project should be a slam dunk but is very slow because building big things takes time.

Also, not everything he says is gospel
I assume PP means they are staying out of leveraged bets and risky individual stocks.

Generally the saw it coming crowd is just sticking it in diversified index and bond funds and doing other things.

OMG, so much this.

One of the biggest sources of cognitive load is poor language design. There are so many examples that I can't even begin to list them all here, but in general, any time a compiler gives you an error and tells you how to fix it that is a big red flag. For example, if the compiler can tell you that there needs to be a semicolon right here, that means that there does not in fact need to be a semicolon right there, but rather that this semicolon is redundant with information that is available elsewhere in the code, and the only reason it's needed is because the language design demands it, not because of any actual necessity to precisely specify the behavior of the code.

Another red flag is boilerplate. By definition boilerplate is something that you have to type not because it's required to specify the behavior of the code but simply because the language design demands it. Boilerplate is always unnecessary cognitive load, and it's one sign of a badly designed language. (Yes, I'm looking at you, Java.)

I use Common Lisp for my coding whenever I can, and one of the reasons is that it, uniquely among languages, allows me to change the syntax and add new constructs so that the language meets the problem and not the other way around. This reduces cognitive load tremendously, and once you get used to it, writing code in any other language starts to feel like a slog. You become keenly aware of the fact that 90% of your mental effort is going not towards actually solving the problem at hand, but appeasing the compiler or conforming to some stupid syntax rule that exists for no reason other than that someone at some time in the dim and distant past thought it might be a good idea, and were almost certainly wrong.

The SN850x is high-end for client/consumer SSDs. The ones you're referring to that have full power loss protection are enterprise SSDs, which is an entirely different market segment with different performance targets, different endurance rating methodology, and different expected feature set.

MacOS Instruments is really quite good.

I have a `profile` function I use.

Then I just do:

or w/e and when it completes (can be one-time run or long-running / interactive) now I have a great native experience exploring the profile.

All the normal bells and whistles are there and I can double click on something and see it inline in the source code with per-line (cumulative) timings.
Imagine caring about this at this point. Some corporation dictates to you what lore youre allowed to remember. "Canon." I will never understand fandom.

I used to love star trek. I have a good friend whos a hardcore trekky. He would talk like this, and I just thought, the mental hoops people jump through to give corporations money, like they're so invested in a story that they'll justify anything. He would talk about how much he hates discovery, and then watch the next episode.

I just turned it off. I gave up on star trek entirely. Who cares? They've destroyed an entertainment staple. They can backtrack if they want. They'll do this again in a few years. These things aren't made to last forever. They call them "properties" for a reason. Novel stories will be way more interesting if anyone wants to try to create some.
I fully understand that not everyone agree with the EU human rights that define world views as equally protected as religious beliefs, but the core concept is that every human being is worth the same as humans regardless of what that person believe in, be that a religious text, a shaman, a political view, or just random thoughts they gotten. The medical system especially do not decide which life is worth saving by looking at what the patient believes in which is something everyone benefits from.

Naturally people who do not accept that do not need to donate, but don't expect the medical system to change in order to get more donations. The chaos it would cause would cost more life than it would save, and it would send a very wrong signal to the rest of society.

Doctor Who doesn't worry about this.
Something I see many JS benchmarks struggle with is GC. Benchmarks run in tight loops with no GC in between, leading to results not representative of real world use. Rarely do they even run GC between the different test cases, so earlier cases build up GC pressure negatively impacting the later cases and invalidating all results.
At 44 I took a gap year. I biked across the USA, then bike toured in Europe, then backpacked around Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

Mullvad has been around for a long time and was on the cutting edge of technology when public VPN’s were becoming relevant a decade or so ago. Since then they’ve managed to stay relevant despite not advertising or being affiliated with a larger platform.

In my estimation their success is largely due to word of mouth and a perception of being a legitimate company with a serious interest in security and privacy in a market rife with scams and lies. I’d imagine that’s how they attract talent as well.

Ask HN: Selling a project that has not been properly monetized?
Many here on HN are working on companies/apps/projects in the hopes of having a successful exit once their project "takes off".
If a project is successful in the marketplace and growing exponentially, making a good exit should be feasible, and the options and recommendations have been discussed here before.
And if the project is a failure, it seems obvious that it should be discontinued sooner rather than later.

However, what to do if a project has been successful from a technical perspective, has attracted a modest but enthusiastic fanbase, but has never been properly monetized? How to convince potential buyers of the financial merits of the project if the past revenue has been mediocre?

Concretely, we've been working with a small team on a project for 7 years now, and a huge amount of work went into creating good technical solutions for all the problems in the field.
Recreating even parts of the solution would take other companies years even with a dozen people.
However, due to a lack of marketing and an unsustainable sales- and ridiculously cheap pricing-model, our past revenue has been minimal.
How could we possibly get a fair price when selling the app if the past sales have not been great?

The obvious solution would be to properly monetize the project ourselves to be able to get a fair price in an exit. But this would at least take another one full year with crunch time, and no one on the team can take it anymore. We need a rest from this project, permanently.

We've been floating ideas around:

• don't sell to a competitor or someone continuing the project, but sell the technology to those that would actually benefit the most from it. E.g. 'Jamf' could certainly increase their revenue with our stack by at least a few dozen million per year, but how could we ever convince them of this fact?

• Write up detailed documentation of each part of the technology, which is a lot more complex than one would assume without having worked on those problems for years. But would it fundamentally change anything?

• Write up financial extrapolations on how the app could be monetized: even with a pessimistic scenario (only 2/3 of the user base would be willing to go for a subscription for $20 per year), revenue would be $ 400k per year. With actual marketing, the user base could be increased tenfold, 100fold, the sky is the limit :)

• Try to drastically increase the user base by making the product free. If we had 10x more users, at least we would have something to show, right?

Does the HN crowd have any comments or better ideas?

Is it fundamentally impossible to get a fair price for a project if the financial numbers are not rosy?
